Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Such a position offers lower pay than the LPN/LVN scale, yet the individual is held to the requirements established by the highest license held. The LPN/LVN would not have difficulty receiving compensation from the agency; the payment problem is that nonprivate payers do not reimburse for care given by LPN/LVNs. Patients responding less favorably to the individual because of status issues is not a consideration. It is not true that once employed as a home health aide, the individual cannot be employed as an LPN/LVN.

Answer to Question 2

a. A newly hospitalized patient who has disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome
b. A patient receiving physical therapy after a total knee replacement in a nursing home rehabilitation unit
c. A home health care case consisting of a mother and a newborn with spina bifida and a ventricular peritoneal shunt for hydrocephalus
d. A newly admitted patient experiencing a manic episode who is awaiting test results before beginning lithium therapy

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
